Wasn’t Neo mailed a Nokia 8110 to use?


Ghost In The Shell (2017) with the Ki Theory soundtrack.
I love slow remixes of 80s music.
Why don’t they let the people who make the trailers make the movies!


Oh, I should add that the plug in the 2nd pic is what keyboard connectors were back then (PS/2 connector).


This is dated 2017, so must have been through a few phone-to-phone days transfers to be on my current one.

But in my main store of files that’s synced across machines, I have this from 1999

Memes were still finding their feet back then.

I’ve used bookshop.org which sells ebooks and has a reader, but you can nominate a local bookstore to get part of the profit.


My point was really how there was little to no verification on SMTP servers back then and that you could send mail with a simple terminal program, or, more practically, a script.
Not hacking, but using knowledge of the insecurity of SMTP servers of the time, to allow spoofing easy spoofing.
Not so easy to find SMTP servers to do that with now.


Not really hacking, but in the 90s you could usually just connect to a mail server and it would believe what you told it.
If you were careful you could just type an email directly: MAIL FROM, RCPT TO, etc.
I would write scripts at work to send spoof emails sometimes, you could put anything as the FROM address, like “info @ catfacts” or whatever.
Another “not really hacking” example is that when some companies first got an Internet connection, they would just allocate public IP addresses to everyone, no gateway or firewall. So you could browse any non-passworded smb shares just knowing the IP.

It’s possible to store open tabs into a bookmarks folder, (in at least one browser), so you still have them stored, but don’t have them open.
It’s like taking a picture of something as a momento before throwing it away.
